It was a big night for him as he collected the Godlike Genius accolade at the annual NME Awards in London.

And Liam Gallagher, 45, was joined by his sixteen-year-old son Gene as they celebrated his big gong during the star-studded after-party on Wednesday night.

Dressed in his favourite green anorak, the former Oasis star proved to be a little boozy as he enjoyed the night with his teen son.

Clearly in a fantastic mood, Liam was in his element as he enjoyed an alcoholic beverage while mingling with his peers.

He was dressed for comfort in his favoured outerwear - a popular fashion choice and rapidly developing trademark for the singer, who stubbornly wears the heavy winter staple onstage, regardless of temperature.

The album, his first release since the disbandment of former band Beady Eye in 2013, climbed to number 1 in the UK album chart, while reaching number 30 in the US Billboard 200 – an impressive feat given the abject commercial failure of Oasis in the United States.

Meanwhile, a whole host of other stars looked to be having a great night as they attended the after party.
